Administrative monetary penalties should be put in place, like the Commissioner of Canada Elections has. The Commissioner of Lobbying has called for them. It should be on a sliding scale, and I believe in the concept of ability to pay, so it should be higher if you have a higher income. More and more scholars are advocating for that in the U.S. It's been implemented in some places. The penalty should mean the same to the person, and that means that if you have a higher income, it should be a higher penalty for you because you can afford to pay more.
